Kindness And Violence
A/N: Hi hi people. Alright thank you for the reviews. I'll consider changing the name of Zero's Kingdom. Tell me if you think I should at the end of this chapter. I was just having a hard time thinking of names and I thought the name of the show would be clever. And I did forget to put the O at the end of Zero's name that time. I have a tendency to type to fast and misspell words and leave words or letters out. Thank You. R&R Pwease.
Velita:Well that just wraps it all up doesn't it.
Me: Ignore her.
While the driver was distracted Teela ran from her hiding place among the shadows into the hay wagon. Everyday for two days from morning to evening she waited for a wagon, and finally one had arrived. Two unfamiliar girls had climbed out the back, but she was not concerned about that.
She quickly covered herself with hay and hunched down. This is no way for a princess to travel. I'll have to live though. I won't be able to sneak out on an open horse. I'll just see where the... hay takes me.
A few moments later it began to move and Teela jumped a little at the surprise. She settled in and dozed off a bit. Overall it was a very long and boring ride and she was glad when it was over. Just to be safe she waited about ten minutes then hopped out of the wagon.
What she saw before her was definitely not what she expected to see. The large palace of her brothers mortal enemies. She had entered enemy territory. As she stood there gaping someone grabbed her arm.
"You must be his royal pain in the asses new servant girl. I thought you bringing a friend, but oh well. You look well fed and healthy. You'll fit right in. I'm sure the prince will like you. Oh he was close to the other two, but that's just how he is. Especially with girls. Oh I'm so terribly rude. My name is Tressa. I'm the nurse around here. I also look after all the girls."
By now they had entered the palace, walked many hallways, and stopped infront of a door.
"Oh we're here. I was hoping to have a little more time to talk with you. Well we can chit chat later. I'm sure the Prince is dying to meet you." Tressa babbled, not giving Teela enough time to say anything, in which she was trying to.
Tressa shoved her through the door and closed it behind her. This left her alone in the room with the very same boy her brother had cursed many times. She swallowed. Would he know who she is?
He grinned, showing off perfect white teeth. Teela had to admit, despite what Hiead said (not that she believed him) he was not ugly. He was far from it.
"Hi. You probably know this, but I'm Zero. You'll be working for me now. Though most wouldn't call it work."
She nodded.
"So what's your name?" he prompted her.
"Well uh... it's" she faltered.
"Oh come on. Don't be shy. I want to be friends."
He held out his hand with that big grin on his face.
"Well my names Teela. I'm afraid there has been a misunderstanding though."
He gave her a questioning look.
"I didn't come here to be your new servant, Or friend, or whatever. I didn't even intend to come here. That Tressa women, just assumed..." she trailed off before she said too much.
Zero looked disappointed.
"Oh"
Teela felt guilty for making him sad. At the same she didn't.
"Look sir, don't take it personally, but I can promise you wouldn't like me very much anyway" she told him.
She turned to leave, but he grabbed her arm. She tried to wipe the images of Hiead flinging girls to the floor and turned to face him.
"Really Enna, I suggest you let go this instant."
"Why wouldn't I like you exactly? If you're going to do this I would like a reason."
"You want a reason, you wouldn't like it."
"At least show me your face. I'd like to know how the girl that was brave enough to turn me down looks?"
Slowly Teela pulled off her hood, revealing her perfect features.
"It's too bad the one who doesn't like me is the most beautiful one yet."
Teela sighed, "Enna do you believe the war is the right thing?"
He stepped away from her and sat on his bed.
"I don't know if it is right. But it's all we can do."
"You can try and make peace. It is not all you can do. There is always an option. You and them All of them chose to fight, instead of make peace. Me too. I am just as guilty. Being a big part of it. Having major influence and not using it. Not taking a stand against..." Teela stopped about a dozen words too late.
She covered her mouth and looked at him, hoping he wouldn't catch on to what he was saying. He had though. Zero was staring at her wide eyed.
"What major influence?" he asked.
She didn't answer. He grabbed her shoulders and gently shook her.
"What influence?"
"I think I should leave."
This time he let her go. She got up and left the room. Outside the door though were two guards.
"Well hello Princess. It's so nice of you to visit our kingdom. We made up a special room for. Biggest and most luxurious cell in the dungeon without cell mates."
Each one grabbed her arms and began to drag her off. She struggled, squirmed, kicked, and dragged, not getting free. As they carried he down stone steps she bumped and scraped her knees along the way. At the bottom another guard unlocked a cell and they threw her roughly inside it, re-locking it. She stood up and clutched the bars to stay up.
"You'll never get away with this!" she shrieked.
The guards just laughed before going back up leaving her alone in the dark. Teela did the only thing she could think of. She cried. Her father had been right. She was not ready for the world. She never expected it to be all warm and fuzzy. Teela knew better then that. She should have never left the safety of her palace walls.
